International brands Rolex and Michelin have been partners of the event since 2013. BMW becomes the Official Transportation Partner of the FIA Prize Giving for a fourth time since 2016, having previously supported events in Vienna, Austria, Paris and the virtual event in Geneva last year.

Rolex, a long-term supporter of motor sport, has been the Official Timepiece of both the FIA Formula One World Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship for many years.

Michelin, one of the leading tyre manufacturers in the world, continues to be a partner of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Meanwhile, the Austrian company Kreisel Electric joins the partner roster for the first time in 2021. Kreisel are the official suppliers to the all-electric FIA World Rallycross Championship which debuts in 2022.

FIA President Jean Todt said: “The 2021 FIA Prize Giving – my last as FIA President – will be staged in Paris in celebration of the champions of our sport. We are thankful for the continued support of our partners Rolex, Michelin and BMW and we are pleased to welcome Kreisel Electric for the first time for our annual gala event.”

The FIA Prize Giving ceremony is one of the year’s most anticipated events within the motor sport community. The event champions from every major branch of motor sport are honoured during the evening.
